The Bees Sting a Useful Tool.

A new champion has arisen to defend
the honey-bee from the obloquy under
which it has always rested. Mr. Will
lam f. Clarke of Canada claims to
have discovered, from repeated OBJ
servations, that the most important
function of the bees sting is not sting
observations and reflections have con-
WINGED me that the most important office
of the bee-sting is that which is per-
formed in doing the artistic cell-work,
Gaping the comb, and infusing the
fOrmic acid by means of which honey re-
ceives its keeping qualities. AS | said at
Detroit, the sting is really skilfully con-
trived little trowel, with which the bee
finishes off and caps the cells when
they are filled brimful of honey. This
explains why honey extracted before it
is capped over does not keep well. The
formic acid has not been injected into
it. This is done in the very act of put
ting the last touches on the cellwork.
AS the little plant trowel is worked to
and fro with such deXterity, the darts,
of which there are two, pierce the
plastic cell surface and leave the nectar
pShSoeh ITO why uiOpo Vi liiO hulu,
which makes it keep well. This is the
art preservative of honey. A most
wonderful provision of nature, truly!
Herein we see that the sting and the
poison-bag, with which so many of us
would like to dispense, are essential to
the storage of our coveted product, and
that without them the beautiful comb
honey of commerce would be thing
unknown" If these things are so, how
mistaken those people are who suppose
the bee is, like the Prince of Evil,
always going about prowling in search
of victim. The fact is that the bee
attends to its own business very dill
gently and has no time to waste on I'M
necessary quarrels. A bee is like
farmer working with fork in his hay
field. He is fully occupied and very
busy. If molested or meddled with, he
will be very apt to defend himself with
the instrument he is working with.
This is what the bee does; and man,
by means of his knowledge of the ma
ture and habits of this wondrous little
insect, is enabled, in most cases, to
ward off or evade attack. - Scientific

Concerning Babies.


"Babies are so expensive" is a COM
mon sigh, but it isn't the babies fault,
bless their hearts. They don't cry for
twenty-five-dollar cradles and seventy
five-dollar carriages; they are just as
happy in untrimmed garments as in
embroideries yard deep and with val
enciennes on every bib. We have
heard of babies who took maps in an
old-fashioned bread-trough, and babies
VINO never had cradle, who grew up
as strong and well as if their loving
mothers had worn out their eyes and
nerves working blankets and afghans
and pillow-slips to correspond with the
cradle-carvings and the silver carriage
trimmings. OF course every mother
knows her baby is the sweetest and
dearest rosebud in the world, and
equally, of course, she wants it to be as
beautifully adorned as possible, but
babies don't need outside garnishing
A well, happy baby is beautiful in print
or unbleached muslin at five cents a
yard; it is only when we lose the rose
and lily fairness of youth-when our
teeth fail and our hair is dry and gray
that we need to call in the help of the
cunning toilet articles to hide our de-
fects. Baby has no defects, and the
plain dress is best for him.-Le,ciston

towns of Middleboro and Wareham,
and sometimes are seen on the streets
of New Bedford, Taunton and Fall
River, the observed of all beholders.
Their local appellation that follows
them to all places is that of Pink
eyed Pittsleys." Their popularity is
that of pink eyes and perfectly white
hair, making the young people appear
like old men and women and their elders
like patriarchs of some ancient time
and country. This striking singularity
is said to have first made its appearance
in family by the name of Pittsley in
Freetown, century or more ago, and
spread through succeeding generations
among the offspring of those who inter-
married with the members of the family
until many of the residents of this sec
ton, of variety of local family names
as well as that of Pittsley, have members
marked by this popularity of the eyes
and hair and an accompanying facial
expression that is odd in the extreme.
The old man, Merchant Pittsley, was
pink-eyed, and he had nine children.
There was something very strange
about it, but all five of his sons had
pink eyes and hair so white they looked
like granddaddies before they were six
teen years old; and one daughter was
marked the same way, but the other
three girls had as fine black eyes and
dark hair as any girl in town. They
married, all but one, and had children,
and some of their children had pink
eyes and white hair, but not all. Brooks

SOlOmon's Judgment i'm China.

Two women came before mandarin
in China, runs an ancient Chinese
chronicle, each of them protesting that
she was the mother of little child
they had brought with them They
were so eager and so positive that the
mandarin was sorely puzzled. He re-
tired to consult with his wife, who was
a wise and clever woman, whose opin-
ion was held in great repute in the
neighborhood. She requested five min
utes in which to deliberate. At the
end of that time she spoke: Let the
servants catch me large fish in the
river, and let it be brought me here
alive" This was done. Bring me
now the infant" she said, " but leave
the women in the outer chamber"
This was done, too. Then the manda-
rims wife caused the baby to be I'M
dressed and its clothes put on the large
fish. Garry the creature outside now,
and throw it into the river in the sight
of the two women" The servant
obeyed her orders, tlinging the fish into
the water, where it rolled about and
struggled no doubt, by the
wrappings in which it was swaddled.
Without moments pause, one of the
mothers threw herself into the river
with a shrek. She must save her
drowning child. . Without doubt she
is the true mother" she declared; and
the mandarin's wife commanded that
she should be rescued and the child
given to her. Without doubt she is
the true mother" she declared. And
the mandarin nodded his head and
thought his wife the wisest woman in
the howery kingdom. Meantime the
false mother crept away. She was
found out in her imposture, and the
mandarin's wife forgot all about her in
the occupation of dressing the little
baby in the best silk she could find in
her wardrobe.

Genius for Study.

No man can know all subjects thor
oughly He may know one or two, but
scarcely more, unless he may have a
genius for study. But he may easily
know how to find out what he wants to
know. 1t is sometimes pleasantly said
of newspaper men that they "know
everything" but their faculty lies not
in knowing, but in knowing how to find
out. Sometimes it is by reference to a
library, sometimes to encyclopedias,
sometimes to old files of newspapers or
magazines, sometimes to public and Of
fetal reports, sometimes to men who
are supposed to know. The cultivation
of this talent requires time and labor,
trained memory for salient points and
constant and voluminous reading. In
our public schools the growing use of
the city library and of books of refer
ence is movement in the right direc-
ton. 1t is of vastly more importance
that the pupils should learn to use the
library skilfully for finding out what
they desire to know than that they
should memorize whole volumes of his
tory or biography. The average pupil
can absorb little more of history than
the mere outlines, and for this purpose
the textbook is necessary. But the
outlines alone are of little use if he is
unable to fill them out by further re-
search. The same applies to many
other branches of study. He has the
best education who best knows how to
find out.-SprinqfeM Union.

Choking Catarrh.

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep with all
the horrible sensations of an assassin cutching your
throat and pressing the lifebreath from your tight
ened chest? Have you noticed the languor and de-
bty that succeed the effort to clear your throat and
head of this catarrhal matter? What depressing
influence it exerts upon the mind, clouding the
memory and filling the head with pains and strange
noises How difficult ii is to rid the nasal passages
throat and lungs of this poisonous mucus all can
testify who afflicted with catarrh. How difficult
to protect the system against its further progress
towards the lungs liver and kidneys all physicians
will admit 1t is terrible disease, and cries out for
relief and cure.

remedies utterly fail of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE

mend it to fellow-sufferers. No statement is made
regarding 1t that cannot be substantiated by the

A Modern Worship.

The dog and cattle-shows here have
inspired some light-headed young
women with craze for animals that is
simply lunacy When some anti
quarian is writing the history of the
United States in the reign of that
mighty sovereign, Grover l., he will
say, no doubt: I'm the religion of
these people the dog held high place
and was the most honored of their
deities, ranging as only inferior in
power and influence to the golden calf.
Particularly were the women devoted
to his shrine, and it was common
custom to devote the most beautiful of
the patrician maidens to his worship
and SERVICE" etc., which will be nearer
the literal truth than antiqarians are
in the habit of getting. 1t is said that
all the prizes won by Mrs. Astor's
thoroughbred pug, Griff Astor, amount
ing in all to some S1,700, have been
carefully invested, and he is probably
the only funded dog in this city. Two
dog parties have been given here lately,
when written invitations in the name of
some pet to all the dogs of his acquaint-
ance were sent. The drawing room
animals, and their masters and mis-
tresses devoted themselves to institut-
ing romps over the furniture by dogs,
who finally went down to the dining
room and sat at the table with dinner
cards at theirplaces and several courses
of their favorite food served to them.
This week a cat party of the same
nature was given.-Neto York Cor

The Culture that Working
Men Need.

The working-man's family may pos
sess a dozen books that will be an
eXhaustless source of pleasure and
strength to husband, wife and children.
We suspect the reason why there is so
little enjoyment of literature among
the working classes is to be found in
the popular but most unfortunate mis-
take that literary masterpiece is too
hard a subject for tired man to deal
with. He feels that he wants amuse-
ment rather than study. The only way
to convince him of his error is to per-
suade him to try the more difficult read
ing. When he once honestly grapples
with the book that has seemed little
beyond him, he will not lay it down. In
the pleasure of mastering something
that he had not expected to master, and
in the consciousness that his mental
horizon is widening, he will find an in
MIGRATING zest that he never expert
enced bt fore. The book will be read
again and again, revealing new truths
and beauties at each perusal. But
there is another means of culture that,
in this age, no one can afford to neg
lect and that should be peculiarly at
tractive to working-men. A very great
part of the domain of natural science is
open to them to take possession Of, if
they will, and the scientific knowledge
that they might easily acquire would
greatly ameliorate their lives. OF the
various branches of natural science,
those that call one out into the fields
and woods and along the streams are on
many accounts the best. A taste for
studies in geology, botany and zoology
can be INDUCED for trifling eXpendi-
ture, and such pursuits give to the
workers in shops and factories just the
change they most need for health OF
body and mind. Nor are the possibili-
ties of scientific acquisition insignifi-
cant. Robert Dick, one of the most
successful and useful of English botan.
lists, was a baker who worked at his
trade all his life. Science was the
recreation of his leisure. So with
Thomas Edward, a shoemaker, whose
studies of marine animals made hin
the correspondent and companion Of
the most learned scientific men in the
kingdom. Not least among the benefits
conferred by these studies must be
reckoned the help they will afford il
the study of the knotty problems O.
economics and public policy. They
will enable their cultivators to bring tt
the consideration of social questions
that breadth of view and scientif,
sense without which all thinking OF
sociological topics is sure to be crude
and faulty. In such pursuits working
men would find much help and EN-
couragement in association. Clubs o
classes of not more than half dozel
members each, for the mutual study o
some subject of common interest, woulC
be found pleasant and profitable. TIL
growth of such clubs all over the coun
try, and representing all branches o
science and literature, would be hope
full and healthy social symptom. JVor

Shortening the Baby.

Our baby now is four months old,
A bonnie boy, with hair like gold;
And his long clothes are put away
For mother shortened him to-day.
He has the loveliest of frocks,
All trimmed with lace, and two pink socks
That father bought, the best by far
And prettiest in the whole bazaar
And now the rogue can kick about
His little feet go in and out
As though they could not rest, and he
Is just as happy as can be.
Besides, he feels quite proud to-day,
With all his long clothes put away,
And dressed so fine And then, you know,
We praise the boy and love him sol
His grandmamma must see him sooni
We all will go this afternoon
And take the pet, and stay for tea
And what riot there will he
At first, perhaps, she may not know
The baby he has dwindled so;
But let her guess, and do not say
